Michigan native Matt Mika has been discharged from George Washington University Hospital just over a week after he was shot at the GOP baseball team practice.
Mika, who is the director of government relations for Tyson foods, underwent multiple surgeries after he was shot multiple times.
A relative told 7 Action News that Mika suffered broken ribs, a sternum injury and some type of injury to his lungs.
Four people, including Mika and House GOP Whip Steve Scalise, were shot when 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson opened fire on June 14.
Hodgkinson was shot by police and later died from his injuries.
His family released this statement:
“Our family is pleased to report that Matt has been discharged from George Washington University Hospital.
We are truly grateful for the compassionate, world-class care provided by the doctors, nurses and team at George Washington, and we will never forget and continue to be grateful for the heroism shown by the U.S. Capitol Police. We truly appreciate the prayers, words of encouragement and support from Matt’s friends, family and people across the nation and the world. Matt’s discharge is a welcome and important step."
